A god who came from the outside world along with her shrine. Unlike most gods who freely come and go between Gensokyo and the outside world, she is now based entirely in Gensokyo and focuses on gathering strong faith solely from its humans and youkai.(*1)

彼女の種族は神霊に相当する。その為、昔は人間か何かだったと思われるが、それが誰なのか、個人なのか集団なのかはもう判らない。

She corresponds with the class of divine spirits. Because of this, it is believed she used to be some form of human long ago, but their identity, or even whether they were an individual or a group, is no longer determinable.

In the past it seems she was a storm god, but currently she is called a mountain god. Publicly, she has a mutually beneficial relationship with the youkai that have been ruling the mountain so far, but the reality of the situation is unknown. It appears that they are only using each other, so it is necessary to carefully observe them.

Unlike the Hakurei Shrine, the Moriya Shrine is much more active in its operations. It seems she's fine with anything as long as it wins her faith, and she'll propose all sorts of suspiciously attractive offers. She especially likes technological innovation, and has a tendency to look down on tradition. Her abandoning the outside world for Gensokyo is surely another indication of her personality. And what is a mountain god anyway?

She has a showy appearance. It seems this is to intimidate those she meets. Incidentally, while divine spirits normally have no form, cases of famous spirits taking on a fixed appearance are common. This is necessary for them to obtain faith, as many humans will not approach things they cannot see or feel uncomfortable with.

Her personality is oppressive and self-righteous. However, those same qualities can be seen as reliable, which has allowed her to gather faith. However, people with such a personality are often swindlers as well, so please exercise caution.

There are many mysteries concerning her ability(*2). She has done things like changing the terrain in cooperation with Suwako Moriya, as well as opening holes to the underground. She is also skilled at making roads and erecting large structures. However, for some reason this power is not used in her shrine's blessings.

ちなみに命蓮寺を建立するのも手伝ったらしい。そこに至った経緯は不明だが、一夜にして完成したのは記憶に新しい。

Incidentally, she helped to build the Myouren Temple. The details of what triggered this are unknown, but the fact that she completed it in one night was quite memorable.

The hot spring area at the base of Youkai Mountain (aka: Hell's Valley Geyser Center) is under her supervision. Because vengeful spirits appear here, it is dangerous for humans to approach. While vengeful spirits are phantoms that harm humans and youkai, the reason they appear here is due to the geyser being directly connected with Hell.

Because of the vengeful spirits, neither humans nor youkai come here very often. According to hearsay, she undertook management of the area because a divine spirit like her is mostly unaffected by vengeful spirits.

In the Moriya Shrine there are many objects from the outside world, but it seems they are mostly sealed in a treasure vault(*3). There are quite a few people who desire the treasures, but because the Youkai Mountain itself is so exclusive, it is said that there have been no intruders so far.

Because they come from the outside world, their standard of living seems to be quite high. They make their living by selling their advanced technology to the kappa in small bits. Because they get few visitors, they can't rely on offerings.
